You got some interesting comments there. I'll add that child sacrifice seemed endemic to Canaanite society (archaeologists Found evidence to back up Roman claims in Carthage), and this story seems more about how we do NOT sacrifice children anymore.
Also, the whole sacrificial system seems to have something to do with reciprocity, so you tell me who is more fucked up: Abraham, or 8 billion people acting like they can rape the planet without any consideration for evening the balance.
... as for chopping off your penis's toque: don't know why you'd do that.
